Cookery - Final
Project Summary
Endorsed and awaiting publication
SkillsIQ, under the direction of the Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Industry Reference Committee (IRC), has updated the Training Package Products that relate to cookery, patisserie, kitchen operations, inventory and food safety.
The Cookery Case for Endorsement, including the Final Draft Qualifications, Skills Sets and Units of Competency, were submitted for consideration at the October 12, 2021, AISC meeting. They were approved by the AISC and subsequently endorsed by the State and Territory Skills Ministers.
The training package products are now awaiting publication on the national register
training.gov.au.
All nine endorsed cookery qualifications contain units that are due to be updated in the current tourism, travel, hospitality and events project, which is on track to be considered at the April 2022 AISC meeting. Given that once this project is approved, it would mean that there would be superseded units in all of the cookery qualifications, DESE has approved the cookery training package products to be held over for publication at the same time as the tourism, travel, hospitality and events training package products, to include the updated units. This will occur in May 2022 (subject to timing of Ministerial endorsement).
This will then ensure that the cookery qualifications are not published containing units that will be superseded in three months’ time and will also reduce the impost on Registered Training Organisations who deliver across the SIT Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Training Package, in regard to updating their scope twice in a period of three months.
The attached documents can be viewed in preparation of the release. The units you can view on this page, relating to cookery, patisserie, kitchen operations, inventory and food safety are endorsed and
will not change.
RTOs should note that as above, the cross sectoral SIT units (e.g. finance, management, rostering, etc.) which are being considered as part of the tourism, travel, hospitality and events project
will be updated to the latest versions prior to publication of the cookery qualifications. This will mean that where these units are included in the core and/or electives of the qualifications, they will change from the current 2016 versions to the updated 2022 versions when the training package is published.
However, RTOs can proceed with planning and resource development for the cookery, patisserie, kitchen operations, inventory and food safety units listed on this page with confidence that they are the final content and these units will not change.
